I've come to a sudden halt in the development of my app as I realized that PreferenceFragments weren't supported in this library. Are there any alternatives that a rookie android developer can use to overcome this obstacle ?
This is my main window as of right now
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TabHost
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+android:id/realtabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0"
/>
</TabHost>
</LinearLayout>
For my TabActivity I'm using something I found online. Here's a snippet:
public class TabControlActivity extends FragmentActivity implements TabHost.OnTabChangeListener
{
public static final int INSERT_ID = Menu.FIRST;
public static TabControlActivity thisCtx;
private TabHost mTabHost;
private HashMap mapTabInfo = new HashMap();
private TabInfo mLastTab = null;
private class TabInfo {
private String tag;
private Class clss;
private Bundle args;
private Fragment fragment;
TabInfo(String tag, Class clazz, Bundle args) {
this.tag = tag;
this.clss = clazz;
this.args = args;
}
}
class TabFactory implements TabContentFactory
{
private final Context mContext;
/**
* @param context
*/
public TabFactory(Context context) {
mContext = context;
}
/** (non-Javadoc)
* @see android.widget.TabHost.TabContentFactory#createTabContent(java.lang.String)
*/
public View createTabContent(String tag) {
View v = new View(mContext);
v.setMinimumWidth(0);
v.setMinimumHeight(0);
return v;
}
}
...*snip*...
Is there any to implement something that resembles a preferencefragment(or preferenceActivity) using the android-support-v4 compatibility library ?
PreferenceFragmentCompatwas recently added to the support library. – Semiweekly
